Hey guys,

I'm located in Canada and am trying to gauge the value on these turbos. (Theres not many for sale around Canada for me to gauge the value on)

I have two R34 N1 turbos.. One is in great condition (minimal shaft play - spins great) and the other is very tight but has no wheel damge - it will have to be rebuilt.

Does anyone have an idea what these things are worth?

Thanks

Ye you'd say both in good condition - maybe 1500.

But with a busted one, someone still has to buy a new one @ $1100 so on its own it's not worth a lot as if you do buy a new one...

You then have new, one used - so realistically it doesnt make sense to spend 500 on a 2nd hand one when you can buy 2x new ones for the extra 500

How tight is tight? (geddit? tongue.gif)

nar seriously... most turbos 'tighten' up when they're taken off the car... I've had my brand new disco potato off the car a few times, and after 10,000kms, the bearings felt tighter and more restrictive, as soon as you put it back on the car with oil flowing through it, they kept spinning for 20secs after you cut the motor...

Keep in mind they have some sort of appeal for 4cyl owners. I've seen R34 N1 turbos used as singles on a few S13s... Maybe check the Sentra forums too...

Keep in mind a brand new core from Garrett for a 2860rs is about $800 bucks, the housings could be fitted with a little machining.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
